Question Re Clothing - Again

Okay, I've read all the posts and I think I know what to wear. We'll be in Rwanda from January 29 through February 9th. So I'll do some slipping and sliding on my gorilla trek, but will I get hot? Or, will I be cold? I know the altitude is quite high, but it is humid. I'm having trouble finding average temps for the park.

It can get cool in the evenings so I suggest a fleece for early mornings/eve. Usually warm during the day but it can rain at anytime of the year. We did wear our waterproofs a couple of times but it felt a little hot with them on. You will also feel warm if you are hiking but may want to wear long sleeves/long pants to protect your skin from scratches.
